Adult Film Actor Rod Daily Confirms He Has HIV

Rod Daily, an adult film actor, has tested HIV positive, AVN News reports. He revealed his status on Twitter: “Drumroll please!! I’m 32 years old and I’m HIV positive. Acute HIV, which means I recently was infected. For that I am blessed.” His next tweet explained: “I’m blessed for the fact that I caught it so early that I can blast that shit with meds.” The porn performer has been linked romantically to adult film actress Cameron Bay, who confirmed about two weeks ago that she has HIV. Her disclosure prompted a temporary moratorium on production. In a statement about Daily, the Free Speech Coalition, a porn industry trade association, said that it was informed that he performed exclusively in gay and trans scenes with condoms and that it will not call for another moratorium.
